Vegan Beer Fest shirts

Now this is exciting!

Vegan Beer Fest UK events are coming up soon with dates in London, Coventry, Glasgow and Sheffield across the summer.

Each year we make a t-shirt for punters to buy on the day but in 2018 we have switched things up a bit.

You can now buy a unique t-shirt for each of the cities and you can only buy them online!

Each city has a white text on black as well as a black text on white variety from which to choose.

Even if you can’t make it along to a date, your purchase will help us put these events on and pay our official designer some extra income.

We are partnering with TeeMill to bring ethically responsible shirts to you this year. Each year we were left with many unsold shirts so allowing each customer to order exactly what they want will help us cut down on waste, as well as keeping our production, storage and transportation costs down.

Club Mexicana at Spread Eagle

by

A few months ago I posted abut new vegan venue, The Spread Eagle.

This 100% vegan pub in Homerton, east London has been blowing people away with not only their gorgeous selection of cocktails and drinks, but also the NEXT LEVEL food coming out of the pub’s kitchen thanks to Club Mexicana.

Looking at the photos below makes me a little emotional.

I can remember going to one of the first ever Club Mexicana pop up events many years ago at Black Cat Cafe and to see the progress the business has made is startling.

Superstar business owner and devoted vegan badass Meriel has made Club Mexicana one of the most recognisable and adored food providers in London. She has cemented her brand as a recognised signpost for taste and quality. She has inspired dozens of traders to play catch up with her branding and market positioning. She is recognised by non-vegan organisers as one of our business leaders.

Before you drool over some of these exclusive food photos from inside The Spread Eagle, please take a moment to follow Club Mexicana on Instagram.

You can also follow The Spread Eagle on Instagram and see the pub’s exact location thanks to Google Maps.

Yorkshire brewery headed to London

by

London Vegan Beer Fest is coming back for a sixth year in a row and we have lots of lovely surprises planned for Saturday July 14, 2018.

All the news will roll out over the next few months, but the first big announcement is all about Brass Castle.

Superstar vegan brewery Brass Castle of Yorkshire is returning for a second year in a row to run a huge, indoor beer hall at the London event.

They will be once again taking over the Hackney Showroom with a multi-tap bar while we have some exclusive food traders in the back alley.

Add to this our outdoor beer and street food market and London Vegan Beer fest is going to be a HUGE day out.

Early bird tickets are already on sale and are almost 20% gone. Buy here.

Superstar vegan brand back as sponsors

by

This is the third year in a row I get to make this announcement and I am just as delighted as I was the first time.

Superstar vegan food brand Follow Your Heart is back as proud sponsor of UK Vegan Beer Fest 2018.

The cost of running a series of community-focussed events around the country while keeping all tickets under £10 (early bird tickets under £5 for most dates) can be daunting, but the financial support we receive from Follow Your Heart makes it possible.

Vegan Beer Fest UK events are focussed on creating inclusive spaces where people can celebrate their veganism (or vegan curiosity) with like minded party goers. Events this year include the 6th annual London Vegan Beer Fest, as well as outings in Sheffield, Glasgow and Coventry.

Every single person attending one of our beer events will be handed a durable pint cup to use on the day. The cups are decorated with the event details as well as the Follow Your Heart logo. Once the beer fest is over, attendees can take their cups home to use again and again.

Follow Your Heart makes these showcases of vegan beer and food providers possible and I am extremely grateful of their continued support of our community.

You can see the entire range of Follow Your Heart sauces, cheeses, mayo, dressings, and more online here.

You can follow the brand on Instagram, too!
